Amen! It's like that when I run. Once all my energy is gone and it is up to sheer will to reach a milestone, finish line, etc, I think 10 more steps and when i get them I think 10 more steps over and over again. After a bit the feeling of giving up ebbs and I can continue.

Tattletale on Yourself

Tell everyone that you know that you're losing weight. Not just that you're losing weight, but what made you decide to do it. (Even, if not *especially* you're most embarrassing story) You can deceive people online, but not in person. It'll keep you accountable!

Take Your Measurements

Take your measurements at the beginning of your weight loss journey. On the weeks you're not losing weight check your measurements again. Chances are that you may not have lost weight but you may have lost inches.

I really regret not taking my measurements. I know I've lost inches but I always wonder how much I've lost.
